No Google Sessions for JavaOne

Infoworld are reporting that Google has pulled out of presenting sessions at JavaOne. Which is probably not that big of a surprise considering Oracle decided to sue Google last month.

In a blog post on the Google Code Blog, Joshua Bloch stated,

"..we're sad to announce that we won't be able to present at JavaOne this year. We wish that we could, but Oracle's recent lawsuit against Google and open source has made it impossible for us to freely share our thoughts about the future of Java and open source generally. This is a painful realization for us, as we've participated in every JavaOne since 2004, and I personally have spoken at all but the first in 1996."

If you go to the content catalog on the JavaOne site and search for Google presenters it brings back 16 sessions that are under threat:

• Cloud Cover: Testing Techniques for Google App Engine
• Google Cloud Computing for Java Developers: Platform and Monetization
• Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Cloud Applications: Fast, Fun, and Easier Than Ever
• High-Performance Java Servers at Google
• The Collections Connection: Special "It Goes Up to the 11th" Edition
• Is Java Servlet Good for WebSocket?
• GUI Animation Rules
• Weaving a Tangled Web: Threading Best Practices at Google
• Using Collections to Drive Your Swing Models
• Dual-Pivot Quicksort and Timsort, or Sorting on Steroids
• NetBeans, IntelliJ, Eclipse, and Oracle JDeveloper: Comparing Four Plug-in APIs
• OpenJDK at Google: A Year in the Life
• Google Web Toolkit Versus Rich Ajax Platform: Which Java-Based Ajax Is for You?
• Java Bloopers: Bad Code That Never Should Have Been
• Java Puzzlers: Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel
• Your Instincts Are Wrong: Learn How by Microbenchmarking with Caliper

There are other sessions like 'Taking Java to the Sky: Cloud Computing 2010 Expert Panel' which had a Google representative taking part which will presumably still go ahead.
